April 2026·4 min read Share:Copy link # How Infoveave Enabled Supply Chain Analytics and Inventory Forecasting for a Global Electronics Distributor A global electronics distributor faced increasing challenges in inventory forecasting, demand planning, and supply chain visibility due to fragmented SAP data, frequent product launches, and manual planning workflows. Sales, purchase, and inventory data spread across multiple SAP files limited forecasting accuracy and slowed decision-making. By deploying Infoveave, the organisation centralised planning through a real-time forecast screen powered by NGauge Forms — enabling accurate demand forecasting, optimised inventory levels, improved in-transit visibility, and faster decisions across the supply chain through a **unified data platform**. Improved ### Forecast accuracy through centralised data and automated logic Optimised ### Inventory levels reducing overstock and stock-out risks Real-Time ### Supply chain visibility across in-transit and on-hand stock ## Business Challenge: Inventory Planning Without Clear Visibility The distributor manages a highly complex electronics supply chain across multiple product lines, regions, and customers. Effective PSI (Purchase–Sales–Inventory) planning requires tight alignment between sales demand, purchase orders, in-transit inventory, warehouse stock, and pricing and currency variations. As the business scaled, fragmented SAP and master data across multiple systems and spreadsheets made end-to-end visibility increasingly difficult. The key challenges: * Sales, purchase, inventory, and pricing information were scattered across multiple SAP systems and Excel files with no consolidated view * Heavy reliance on spreadsheets slowed planning cycles and increased the risk of errors * Limited insight into in-transit inventory or upcoming product launches made demand planning unreliable * Frequent new product models and pricing updates made forecasts difficult to maintain and adjust quickly * Teams struggled to balance inventory — avoiding excess stock while also preventing missed sales opportunities Manual planning processes could not keep pace with the speed and complexity of the business. A purpose-built [supply chain analytics platform](/solutions/industry/supply-chain) with [data automation](/platform/data-automation) capabilities was needed to replace spreadsheet-driven workflows. ### Ready to see Infoveave in action?
